The 2016 Shelby GT350R has clocked a blistering-fast 7:32.19 at the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife. That’s nearly 5 seconds faster than the Camaro Z/28’s well-groomed 7:37.40 time,and even a second faster than a Porsche 997 GT3 RS MKII.

The 991 GT3 with 475PS has lapped the ring in under 7:30 and it's got less power than the Shelby GT350R.

Time for GM to drop some balls with their Corvette Z06. Or maybe, expect a desperate model in future to clock a faster time.

It also weighs 600 lbs less and has a 7 speed double clutch gearbox. Lap time are irrelevant for comparison because the only thing most cars have in common is 4 wheels.

Stop wasting time discussing this "time". It is bs.

I think their VIR time is currently a major selling point.
